Sen. Craig: unforgiven

I just saw this in an article about troubled Idaho Senator Larry Craig:
"Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell repeatedly declined yesterday to say whether he thinks embattled Idaho Sen. Larry Craig should resign, but he did call Craig's conduct in a Minneapolis bathroom 'unforgivable.'"
I'm trying to find the transcript of what the distinguished gentleman from Kentucky actually said. I'm hoping this quote is being taken out of context.
If it's not...DAMN..."unforgivable"? That's pretty strong language.
Incest? Rape? Murder? Trading Babe Ruth to the Yankees? Sure, these are unforgivable offenses, but trying to score some airport bathroom action? Unforgivable?
Senator McConnell sure does toe the straight line...so to speak.

He just resigned... The NRA is staying quiet on whether they want him to resign from the board of directors.
Message? Guns and deviant sexual behavior apparently go hand in hand...lol
Nobody would give two shits if he was some homeless man. There's a few things you have to uphold at that level. Namely some semblance of normalcy.
Have you heard the audio tapes?Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

I want to add something here. It's not the, quote, "lewd conduct", unquote, that should lead to this man's resignation. Just as it wasn't the blow jobs Clinton got from Monica.
It's the fact that this dude pushed himself as a religious and anti-gay representative of his chosen political party.
It's the fact that this dude slammed his senate card down on the table when he was arrested, and said "What do you think of THAT?!".
It's the fact that he pled guilty to the cops upon his arrest, knowing he was guilty, and then denied it in the press later.
It's the fact that he was voted for, and looked up to, and represented the people in his home state.Feels Good Inc.0
